Bio

Spend a little time with me and you’ll quickly see that I’m passionate about photography!

Though I’d always enjoyed capturing the world around me — whether during visits to new places or during milestone life events — it wasn’t until I became a mom of three boys that I began to challenge myself to capture the little things…those beautiful and fleeting moments that when clipped together tell the story of our lives.

The more I learned about the camera — what it could actually do when you freed it from the reins of “auto,” the more I began to fall in love with the idea of shooting on purpose…blurring or focusing as a means of artistic expression…slowing down or speeding up the shutter to convey a feeling or mood.

A former painter, I chose to pursue the study of photography and express my creativity primarily through my camera. And, in case you’re interested, a professional Nikon camera is my tool of choice.

Chat with me and you’ll quickly discover that flexibility is my motto. Sure, I love shooting with natural light, but I also love working with studio strobes. I am equally comfortable working in my studio and shooting at a location of your choice. And whether shooting babies, children or adults, you’ll find me to be an easy going, friendly person who can set you at ease whether or not the camera happens to be your friend.

In terms of my style, I love to fuse beauty, fashion and fine art techniques in my approach to portraiture. The result is a fresh, distinctive and creative style.

Thank you for visiting my site! Send me a note or give me a call if I can be of any help to you.

And have a wonderful 2010!

My best,

Susan Eckert
